Cheap Flights to Gelos from HK$8,005

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Gelos vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Gelos in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
